What I did to every vhost is, that I specified a vhost on port80 and one on 443. When coming in through port 80, then a small rule via mod_rewrite redirects the request to port 443, and this also works like charm. Here's the rule: RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 > It is true that if you don't care about browser warnings, or that the session > is encrypted using the cert from the first VH only, then name-based VHing > under SSL will *seem* to work.

However, it's just a test-server for internal development mirroring the production-server's environment, and the struggle with our network-admins allowing us additional IPs for that server is something I'd rather avoid ;) Cheers!
